MODERATORS
I mean they're really out there. But there's also mass hysteria of people claiming anything with nav lights in the sky is a drone.
They're flying over military facilities and places owned by the President and the Pentagon doesn't care tho?
It's US shit doing stuff they don't want us to know about so we won't.
It also seems like a convenient bogeyman for lots of politicians looking for clout to go "This is unacceptable!" while knowing them shouting and stamping their feet won't amount to anything. But they need to be seen shouting and stamping their feet so their constituents know they're a "free thinker" who "tells it like it is." Knowing full well that no answers are forthcoming, but they can be seen making "transparency" demands around things that don't actually matter, while promoting the idea that they care about "transparency."
I live far away from where all of this is happening, so I was hoping some Lemmings might live in NJ and have a more personal experience and thoughts to share.
